The carbon (C) balance of permafrost peatlands in autumn and winter, which affects the annual C budget estimation, has become a hotspot of studies on peatlands C cycle. This study combined the static chamber method, in situ soil profile measurements, and incubation experiments to investigate release and storage of C during autumn and early winter in a permafrost peatland in the Da Xing'an Mountains, Northeast China. Our results showed that the peak values of CH4 fluxes (30 August 2016) lagged behind those of CO2 fluxes (24 July 2016). At the onset of soil freezing, CH4 fluxes slightly increased, while CO2 fluxes decreased. During soil freezing in autumn, gases were found to be mainly stored in the soil as dissolved CH4 and CO2 and dissolved C concentrations (CH4, CO2, and DOC (dissolved organic carbon)) increased with depth. DOC concentrations were closely related to dissolved C gases, implying that the stored dissolved C gases might be derived from DOC decomposition. The CO2: CH4 ratio decreased sharply from the freezing of the surface layer to the total freezing of the soil, indicating larger CH4 storage in totally frozen soil. The incubation experiments also showed larger CH4 storage in the frozen soils and the stored C gases could influence the assessment of C emissions during thawing. These findings have important implications for clarifying the gas storage of permafrost peatland in autumn and early winter. The results may also clarify the key link of C emissions between the growing season and the nongrowing season. |
